This dataset includes hydrographic and chemical data collected from discrete samples and profile observations from United States Coast Guard Cutter (USCGC) Healy cruise HLY1702 (EXPOCODE 33HQ20170826) in the Bering and Chukchi Sea along transect lines in the Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO) areas DB01, 03, 04, and 05 from 2017-08-26 to 2017-09-15. These data include water temperature, salinity, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TA), dissolved oxygen, and nutrients (nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, and ammonium). The cruise was funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Arctic Research Program (ARP) and supported by numerous agencies and institutions including the National Science Foundation (NSF). The carbon data were collected at sea and run using equipment from the Ocean Acidification Research Center (OARC) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). Jessica Cross was funded by NOAA's Arctic Research Program and Natalie Monacci was funded by the Cooperative Institute for Alaska Research and the Alaska Ocean Observing System. The CTD operations on the cruise were managed by personnel from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Research Institute (WHOI). Dissolved Oxygen and nutrient data were collected by by personnel from the University of Washington Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere (JISAO). Calvin Mordy was funded by the Ecosystems and Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (EcoFOCI) Program and NOAA's ARP. Phyllis Stabeno is co-Principal Investigator of the EcoFOCI program.

Supplemental Information
In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number.
Purpose The Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO) is envisioned as a "change detection array" along a latitudinal gradient extending from the northern Bering Sea to the Barrow Arc. DBO sampling is focused on transects centered on locations of high productivity, biodiversity and rates of biological change.

Each cast is visually reviewed for reasonableness and density inversions (greater than 0.02 sigma-t) caused by spurious measurements. This process is facilitated by comparison of the outputs of the 2 temperature and conductivity sensors. Profile data are bin-averaged to 1 meter.; Quality flag convention: All data points are either accepted (retained) or rejected (deleted) during processing, so data are all defined as good.; Researcher name: Robert S.

  • Parameter or Variable: Dissolved Oxygen; Abbreviation: CTDOXY_UMOL_KG; Unit: UMOL/KG; Observation type: Calculated; Analyzing instrument: Seabird 43; Detailed sampling and analyzing information: In situ data was collected from a profiling CTD 911 paied with a SBE 43 to collect dissolved oxygen data at each depth. Data were originally proceseed to filter out extreme outliers and reviewed for reasonableness, along with other profile data. Seawater samples were collected for winkler tittations to be analyzed on a Langdon Amperometric tritrator. Oxygen was recorded in ml/l, and was corrected and converted into units of umol/kg. Calibration/conversion equation for less than 500m was (ml/l + 0.2310)*44.661 / density; Uncertainty: 1 UMOL/KG; Method reference: Determination of dissolved oxygen in seawater by winkler titration using the amperometric technique.
